No compromise with Modi govt: Sanjiv Bhatt

October 04, 2011 15:50

Suspended Gujarat IPS official Sanjiv Bhatt has declared that he will rather go to jail than compromise with the Narendra Modi-led state government.

During a hearing on his application for bail, Bhatt told a court in Ahmedabad, "There can be no compromise with the Modi govt. This is a battle of principles. I am ready to remain in jail for however long it takes."

Bhatt had accused Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi of complicity in the 2002 post-Godhra riots.

He was arrested recently in connection with a FIR filed by Constable K D Pant for allegedly threatening him and making him sign a false affidavit.
